BICYCLE-SADDLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 599,729, dated March 1, 1898. Application filed September 7, 1895. Renewed November 2, 1897. Serial No. 657,207. (No'model.)

T @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ARTHUR E. PEOR, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Minneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented a certain new and Improved Bicycle-Saddle, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide an improved bicycle-saddle consisting, preferably, of separate sections, one or more of said sections being 4provided with a pneuv matic pad or cushion; and the invention con- In the drawings, 2 represents the frame orv support forthe rear or main section of the seat. This is of any convenient size and shape, and it is provided -with means to support the forward or yielding sections.

' Suitable screws 10 are provided upon the lugs In Figs. l, 2, and 3 I have shown the secsurface, said vsection being secured upon the seat-post 5` by means of the lugs 6 and the projectionsS from the sides of said post.

6 for the purpose of securing said section at any desired angle upon the seat-post.y Secured upon the under side of the section 2 are the arms 21, which project forward from the forwardedge of said section 2. These arms support the pneumaticV cushion, bag, or pad 29, which preferably extends across the "the central line, so that when in operation the rider from the reciprocating movement of his legs presses downward first .upon one section of the pad and then upon the other the downward pressure upon one section forces the air out of that section into the other, causing such section tov move upward, following the movement of the .riders leg. Upon the reverse movement the opposite action takes place. If preferred, the rear section 2 may also be provided with a pneumatic pad.

The details ofl construction may be modified without changing the principle of the invention.

I claim as my invention- The combination, in la bicycle-saddle, of the rear plate or section, with the forwardf independent sections comprising pneumatic pads, a suitable duct being provided between said pads, said pads containing together substantially enough air to fillv one of them, whereby as the surface of one pad is depressed lthe air will be forced therefrom into the other pad to raise the upper surface thereof, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this lith day of September, A. D. 1895.
